Unique tables from Ancient Kauri wood for people who love beautiful and special furniture

For people who love rare and beautiful
objects, I craft unusual and unique wood tables and dinning tables out of rare and ancient 50,000 year
old Ancient Kauri wood.Each table is a work
of art. I personally manufacture each of
these tables from handpicked timbers with novel techniques.

With its unimaginable history and
rare iridescent beauty, atable
manufactured from a single piece ofthis
Ancient Kauri timber stands for absolute exclusivity. It guarantees you an
unusual and unique piece of furniture. When planning and crafting a table for
you, I take your individual wishes into account. I design and manufacture the
tables in my completely equipped workshop in Germany.

One cannot regard a table from Kauri wood as a normal piece of furniture, it is a rare, graceful and unique item
of natural beauty. Each one is:

An unusual
and unique item, hand crafted from up to 50.000 year old Ancient Kauri wood

A true work
of art of nature, with a distinctive iridescence

Individually handcrafted by a master cabinetmaker

A high value
and exclusive investment

Accompanied with a certificate verifying the age of the wood used for your Kauri

If you need a particularly demonstrative showpiece, e.g. an impressive conference table or a particularly designer table, I can craft tables of 4 - 6 m length and up to 12 m length.

Long Kauri tables especially are
particularly suited for large rooms because of their unusual natural
characteristics. Every table is a high end product.

Only preserved Ancient
Kauri trunks are used. The timber used for furniture making does not come from
existing living trees. This high-quality raw material
is a finite resource that will come to an end. Therefore, each piece of Kauri
furniture will increase in value, giving you a viable alternative investment as
well as an object of rare natural beauty in its own right.

A wood with history - from pre-historic times

The Kauri (Agathis austalis) is an ancient tree, native to New Zealand. It has its origins in the Jurassic period, 135 to 19 million years ago.

Mature trees can live up to 2,000 years, reaching heights of 50m with diameters of 4 to 5m.
During the Mesolithic and Neolithic (3,000 to 100,000 years ago or more),
enormous Kauri trees have been repeatedly felled by natural catastrophes and
been buried in peat bogs during the different epochs, sometimes in several layers.

In this oxygen poor environment, Nature perfectly preserved the enormous fallen tree trunks and their roots.

Because of their rarity and finite
nature, these Ancient Kauri logs and roots are extracted under strict regulatory
control within New Zealand. The rare and precious wood is highly prized by
master cabinetmakers.

Giant Kauri still grow in groves
in New Zealand. Today all living Kauri trees stand under conservation.

Root timber offers the most valuable wood of the tree. It has a unique and varied grain and a fascinating natural
character.

Desk tops from the root are rare
and very precious and have a beautiful natural growth. Plates cut from the
trunk emit a calm radiance.

Each Kauri desk top is made from a
single piece. No joint disturbs the beautiful grain along the complete length
and width. Nature is visibly expressed through the massive character and sheen.

Special manufacturing processes

Before treatment, I dry each desk
top in my own drying chamber down to a moisture content of 8%. This gives you
the greatest reassurance and the probability that the desk top itself will not
warp or that a crack will develop later.

I treat the desk top using a
special procedure to protect your table’s valuable wood. This makes it
resistant to alcohol and liquids, without losing its nature and the silky-soft
feel of the massif wood table. According to your wishes, I can fill in natural
features such as tears and ingrowths with a transparent filler so that they
remain and create a fascinating 3D-insight into the wood.

You are welcome to visit me in my
workshop, where I can show you unworked Ancient Kauri desk tops as well as how
I work.

Further examples of tables can be
found on my German-language pages.

Convince yourself of Nature’s rarity and beauty in these works of art, embodied in the unique hand-crafted tables from a master
cabinetmaker.
